Favorite Electronic In-Ear Hearing Protection?

BAM

Looking at an electronic in ear bud hearing protector for my upcoming prairie dog shoot. In years past used the standard rubber or foam ear plugs but kinda of tired of shouting when i talk or not hearing my shooting partner when we're shooting side by side. Dont want to spend over $300 and dont really need amplification or want over the ear muffs. Curious if there is a clear favorite amongst the people that use them.

I don't like them. I found them annoying as they turn on and off . Try someone's before you buy and for an entire match would be my advice.
 
Etymotic GSP15 - Etymotic makes the best headphones/earbuds money can buy. You wear these and dont even know they're in.

They work well for outdoor rifle or pistol.. if you're under cover or indoor you'll want something better.
 
I have 2 sets of the Walker around the neck, they are bluetooth and the old set works great, you can talk and hear very well BUT the new set...........not so much, they block the noise better but the speech reconition is not good at all, the bluetooth works well but you don't hear someone speaking like the old set. I can use either set without muffs and not be bother with noise but I do use muffs when shooting competition with the around the necks, when cleaning my gun I take the muffs off and am right behind the line. I have a set of the Ottos but haven't really gotten a chance to use them.
 
I use the Caldwell in ear buds. Comes with various size rubber inserts to get a tight fit. Over ear earmuffs are more effective, but in the summer heat of So. Fla. they are unbearable at the range after 1 hour.
 
I use ESP dynamics expensive, but sound quality is really good. Key is to make sure your molds are fit otherwise you can end up getting feedback when your moving.
